"The Altar Fires of Liberty"

By Editor

Introducing the theme of the Signs Monthly for July — Liberty — Civil and Religious.
A timely and well-illustrated presentation of truths for this time.
The world saw the bright flame of LIBERTY leap from the white-hot crucibles of time and experience, and the dull, leaden skies of dark and medieval days were lightened with the glory of the flame. Valley Forge, Bunker Hill, and Yorktown, the minutemen at Lexington, the pouring out of the virgin continent's best blood and richest treasure, were the price paid to secure the recognition of the principle that "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL." But was the price any too great? "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was both the goal and the victory.—The Altar Fires of Liberty.
